You should probably read the snopes article, because nowhere in it does it say that it was a humorous take on the Information Superhighway hoopla. You are spreading lies. Easily checked lies.

What groups do you subscribe to? My feed is mostly relatives, friends and their photos. Occasionally there are panels with people I don't subscribe to, which you can press X on and you won't see them again.

The only entity that "passes" laws in this country is Congress. You mean via executive order? That's not exactly passing a law.

That works for relatively simple scenarios. When you have to add deploying sql changes or something having to update something in the cloud, you'd have to include a lot more plumbing.

I had a good laugh. Well done. Could have used this 20 years ago. If you can figure out how to do this in person, you are golden.

I have several of these running all sorts of quickie utilities. The key for making things faster (at least for my tasks) was to write everything I need in c#. For whatever reason, the speed seems far faster than Python for me.

It says US-Israel Bloc military deaths - 74. Iran military deaths - 10,500 It has no information what is the source of information. Seems like made up numbers.

WinForms still exist, still supported, still getting new features. And it's open sourced. https://github.com/dotnet/winforms

On Windows, I would chose WinForms. Even today, even over WPF. It's as stable as QT and GTK, still supported, and has a large community of contributors and 3rd party vendors.

What do you think is going to happen when DDG or Fastmail gets a FISA warrant? You think they will stand their ground and go to prison to protect your info? History (like the PRISM project) says no.

That's exactly it. In every large corp I ever worked at, the bonuses for managers always depended on whatever company initiative was happening at the time. Incentives almost always drive the outcome.

I think part of the issue in California at least is that you must have insurance. You gonna get a giant fine if you don't.

I don't think there is a problem per se. There are probably still edge cases out there that I didn't experience. But overall, I think the tech is ready to roll.

We've had FSD trial for 4 months in the middle of last year. I work from home so I can't really justify $100 a month. However, we did take a few trips (about 60 miles in each direction) to see family through downtown LA. I was h

He was depicted as weak because during his time an entire US embassy was held hostage in Iran for more than a year. Couple that with inflation reaching 14.8% and now you understand why.

That didn't work - generates errors. But there is a PR in progress that should fix it at some point soon.

That's the point. For things like summarizing a webpage or letting the user ask questions about it, not that much computation is required. An 8B Ollama model installed on a middle of the road MacBook can do this effortlessly today wit

Right. It is legal. But in the tax code it's called a "gift", rather than a "donation".
